We all love kale (hail kale!) but let’s try something new this week! Be adventurous and wander away from your usual sources that make up green juices like kale and spinach, and let’s wake up those taste buds and your bodies with this aromatic, silky and sweet green juice. It’s ideal for those on an anti-inflammatory diet and anyone who is trying to avoid cruciferous veggies, but it is so delicious everyone will enjoy it!
The stars of this juice are:

Dandelion greens, green leaf lettuce and sweet potatoes which contain loads of vitamins A and K, support liver function and are anti-inflammatory.

Zucchini which is a cancer fighting, anti-inflammatory powerhouse!

Oranges and pears, which will go all Bruce Lee on the free radicals floating around your body!

It’s a tall order, but she hopes one day to be able to inspire others the way Joe has inspired her.

Dandelions are in flower right now. Does that matter and will it affect the dandelion root if I harvest only the leaves? Should you only take the leaves when the plant is not flowering? Can I use the leaves in a smoothie instead of juicing them or are they too bitter?

Erin, do you by chance have Hashimoto’s? I do. I’m not overweight and my meds seem to keep all of the measurables “in check” but I so want to be free of meds. Plus i still just know that i could still feel even better if i can figure out how! I’ve been eating mostly plant-based for the past year (lost excess 20 lbs doing so) but all research for putting Hashimoto’s into remission is telling me I need animal products. I want to try all other options 1st. Wondering if I should cut out raw cruciferous veggies as recommended. I will try this juice. I’m doing the new year’s reboot – my 1st one. I’d love some advice from some one with a similar condition.

Hi Lisa, I have Hashimoto’s as well and have no intension of eating any veggies that may trigger an autoimmune response in me. It’s not worth it. I have suffered a long time with this. This is a progressive disease if we do nothing about it. But we are definetily in the right place to stop the disease in it’s track. I really believe this is the way. There is an amazing book on Hashimoto’s Thyrodtitus called: ‘Root Cause’. The women who wrote it cured herself of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Hashimoto’s. She is amazing and the research she has done, and lived, is the best out there. Better to know for yourself then to trust advice from those who are not experts in the field. I still have a lot to learn but very willing to do the work. Good luck to you Lisa. 🙂

Thanks, JuicyGirl. I have that book, Root Cause! I’ve read about 60% of it. But it is one of the things that has discouraged me because I am happy not eating meat, fish & dairy, but the book seems to indicate that I need too (get some form of animal protein). But I think you’re right, that we know ourselves best and I just need to continue to be my own “expert” and continue research (with some guidance as necessary, of course). I do like the book, though!

Hi LeighAnn,
There are lots of juices I drink and everyone has something different that works for them, depending on their biological needs.. A Reboot is a great way to get a clean slate to figure out which types of food make your body the happiest and which types slow you down…

I cured my hypothyroidism eight years ago with an all-juice fast. I also believe that if you do seaweed as well as Lugol’s iodine while ingesting cruciferous /goitrogenic veggies, you will circumvent the goitrogenic effects of them. Kevin Gianni has done some research on this as well and it helped convince me. I have not taken any meds since that 11-week fast, again, which was eight years ago!
